If The Caller ID Shows A Number From This Area Code, Think Twice About Answering It

While some might consider screening calls based on phone numbers rude, in this case, it could save your phone bill.

Authorities are warning people to avoid picking up a call from a 473 area code number. The area code is international for Grenada. The offending number has been reported at 473-520-9734 from someone who seems to be in distress. Those who call the number back are charged each minute they’re on the line. Costs can add up in the thousands of dollars.

This scam isn’t new, but it seems to be surging again. Authorities have suggested that if you don’t recognize a caller, either let the number ring and DO NOT ANSWER or let the call go to voicemail and DO NOT RETURN THE CALL.

Valley Video has received notice from Disney/ABC Television, that after a ten year run, SoapNet will be phased out over the next several months. Ultimately, the vendor has advised that poor viewership has led to this decision. However, as long as SoapNet is up and running, most of its schedule will continue unchanged. In the future, ABC Family is expected to take over the programming, so some programming changes may take place at that time. Disney/ABC Television has announced that Disney Junior will replace SoapNet in most US markets, including Valley’s service area.
